My 1999

The next day, Xu Liang was worried about Wu Xifan. After breakfast, he went to Hongmeng.

Jiang Xiaoyang entered working mode simply and habitually.

Not long ago.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Liu Jihong opened the door and walked in.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Liu Jihong looked around and asked, "Where is Xu Liang?"

"Going to work in Hongmeng."

Liu Jihong breathed a sigh of relief and put the bag in his hand on the table next to him.

"This is the chicken soup I cooked for you. It uses old hens that have been raised for three years. After drinking it, my grandson will be white and fat."

Jiang Xiaoyang said helplessly: "Mom, when your grandson grows up, it will be your daughter and I who will suffer in the future."

"Don't worry, mom knows what's going on and won't let you suffer."

As he spoke, he opened the thermos bucket, and a strong aroma of chicken came out.

He got a bowl and spoon from the kitchen, scooped out a small bowl and handed it over.

"Try it. I asked Sister Zhao to stew it in a casserole for four hours. It must have been cooked to pieces."

Jiang Xiaoyang took it and ate a small bowl.

"Mom, you can put the rest in the kitchen. I'll eat it at lunch."

Liu Jihong nodded, "Xiaoyang, how about you have a showdown with Xu Liang? Mom will take care of you then, so don't go to Australia, which is so far away."

"Mom, with my current financial resources, I can enjoy the best conditions for giving birth no matter where I am. Moreover, Australia is a developed country with a good environment. It is more suitable for giving birth than staying in the capital. Don't worry."

After a pause, Jiang Xiaoyang said slowly.

"Besides, I just want Xu Liang to feel guilty. When this child is born, I will make him agree and sign a paper agreement to make this child the first heir of the Xu family trust."

Looking at her daughter's firm expression, Liu Jihong sighed.

"If I had known today, I should have resolutely separated you from Xu Liang."

"Mom, it's impossible. You are also a woman. We women always look upward when looking for men, and never look down. Among the younger generation, Xu Liang is also the best in the world.

I'm used to him, and I won't be able to find anyone better after leaving him.

In this case, I won't bother anymore. "

Jiang Xiaoyang's eyes were gentle as he stroked his bulging belly with both hands.

"Now my only thought is to raise this child and let him inherit the Xu family business."

"Xu Liang's family business is not just Hongmeng and Hanhua." Liu Jihong reminded.

"I know. But Hongmeng and Hanhua are his biggest and most valuable properties. And didn't you always teach me that a man is like sand in his hand? The tighter he holds it, the faster it bleeds.

So I give him free space.

But the premise is that other women cannot threaten my status or my son's status. "Jiang Xiaoyang looked determined.

"Xiaoyang, are you really not jealous at all?"

"Mom, I am also a normal woman, not that generous. In the past few years, I have also secretly investigated those so-called young successful men.

Including the ones you introduced to me before.

The results were truly eye-opening.

Not to mention abilities.

Privately, they were more playful than Xu Liang, engaging in group sex, cheating, and even breaking the law. They appear sanctimonious on the surface, but secretly they are male thieves and female prostitutes.

Compared with them, Xu Liang is relatively restrained. In the past few years, the total number of women around him is only about ten.

Considering his status and ability, this is already considered a small amount.

And although I am jealous, seeing that he is affectionate and loyal to his woman, I still feel very safe.

At least you don't have to worry about being kicked away one day when you lose your value, or losing your life for no apparent reason. "

"How dare he? He really thinks that our Jiang family has nothing to eat!" Liu Jihong said angrily.

"Most murderers don't dare, but they are so stupid that they don't consider the consequences when they are impulsive. Therefore, sometimes character is really more important than anything else.

Now I think about it too.

Men who are good-looking, good-looking, well-educated, capable, good-natured, and dedicated are very rare. I can’t gamble my youth on a one-in-a-million, or even one-in-a-million chance.

Xu Liang, a top young talent with only one shortcoming, is already the best match I can find.

Haha, speaking of which, my dad sees things far ahead.

After they found out I was pregnant, although they cared about me, they never asked me about my relationship. "

"Men know men. When your father was young, he was just like Xu Liang. It's just that when he reached middle age, his physical strength and energy were basically gone, and he couldn't play anymore. In addition, his status was high, so he gave up." Liu Jihong said sarcastically.

After saying that, he sighed.

"You tell me why we women are so miserable, and we only want to do good for these stinky men, and they are still messing around outside."

Jiang Xiaoyang did not echo his mother's complaints.

The world is like this, and if you can't change it, you have to adapt.

Since having a child, her feelings have become more secure, and she has become less and less concerned about this aspect.

——

Hongmeng Center (Wangjing Building).

Xu Liang stood in front of the window overlooking the capital below.

Compared with five years ago, Wangjing has become more prosperous, with many new communities and buildings built, and the traffic on the road has increased several times compared to before.

He has also grown from his youthful days at the age of 19 to a promising young man at the age of 24.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wu is here."

"Let him in."

Lu Hui went out for a moment, and Wu Xifan walked in wearing a brown T-shirt and black pants.

"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"

Looking at the man in front of him whom he once trusted very much, Xu Liang's eyes were a little complicated.

Although Jiang Xiaoyang suggested that he wait and find out the other party's true purpose, whether it was an unpleasant stay or some dissatisfaction in his heart.

But he didn't want to wait any longer.

Wu Xifan's position is too important, and all large and small businesses in major subsidiaries need his adjustment.

If he was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty, he wouldn't know how many things would be delayed.

Now is the time when Hongmeng is developing rapidly, and Xu Liang does not want him to be held back.

Waved.

"Sit down and talk."

"Why."

After Lu Hui served the tea, she quietly stepped aside.

"Lao Xie has praised you in front of me more than once, saying that you did a good job."

"Mr. Xie is so complimentary. Without his help, I wouldn't be able to manage the strategic planning department."

Xu Liang nodded and looked at the well-behaved man in front of him.

"What do you think of the work of the Strategic Planning Department?"

"It's a bit cumbersome. All in all, it's like a matchmaker trying to break up the fight. She has to maintain matchmaking between the subsidiaries, and when they quarrel, she has to coordinate conflicts and ensure that the work continues to move forward."

"How do you like it?"

Looking at Xu Liang's deep eyes, Wu Xifan hesitated.

"Mr. Xu, I..."

"be honest."

The somewhat harsh tone made Wu Xifan's heart tremble.

"Not really."

"Mr. Xu, I still think I am more suitable for the game industry, and I also like game research and development."

Xu Liang nodded, "You are the veteran of the company and one of the earliest employees of Hongmeng. It is impossible for me to let you be in charge of a game studio again.

Hongmeng Games has been divided into various subsidiaries and cannot be grouped together anymore. "

Wu Xifan's expression darkened a little.

Looking at his appearance, Xu Liang changed the subject.

“I hold 63% of Penguin’s shares, and they are currently preparing to continue to develop in the gaming field.

If you want, you can work as a game director at Penguin. "

Wu Xifan showed hesitation on his face.

Of course he was no stranger to penguins.

But among many domestic Internet companies.

The current penguins can only be considered second-rate.

The top four portals are definitely Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and TOM.

The second-rate ones are Alibaba, Penguin, eBay, Dangdang, etc.

In 2004, it was still an era when portals were king.

As for Hongmeng, it has gone beyond the scope of China and is the world's top Internet company.

What also makes it difficult for him to decide is that Tencent has no experience in developing large-scale games. If he goes there, he will have to start from scratch. Although Xu Liang has the support behind it, it is still unknown whether it will be able to develop in the end.

And from Hongmeng to Penguin, the gap is too big.

"Mr. Xu, can you let me think about it for two days?"

It would not be appropriate to refuse directly, so Wu Xifan planned to delay for a few days.

But Xu Liang has been in the business world for so many years and has long developed a superb ability to observe words and emotions.

"You don't want to go to Penguin?"

Hearing what he said, Wu Xifan nodded, "A little."

"Since you don't want to go, then resign from the company."

Wu Xifan's expression changed, "Mr. Xu, I..."

Xu Liang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"You neither like the work content of the Strategic Planning Department, nor are you willing to submit to the position I assigned you, so resigning is the most suitable choice for you."

Wu Xifan opened his mouth, with thousands of words on his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Resent Xu Liang for being ruthless?

Of course resentment.

But all this is his own choice.

Xu Liang looked at the man in front of him quietly. After seeing his expression several times, he took a deep breath.

"Mr. Xu, I am willing to resign."

Xu Liang sighed inwardly.

He gave Wu Xifan a step down, but unfortunately he gave up on his own.

"Go back and hand over the work to Mr. Xie.

Also, considering your contribution to the company, you can continue to retain Hongmeng’s options. However, if you join other companies, Hongmeng will recover these options at the market price. "

Wu Xifan nodded, stood up and left.

Seeing his dejected look, Lu Hui felt quite complicated.

She has followed Xu Liang for many years and has seen him fire many people, but most of those who were fired made mistakes.

Or they were eliminated by the company’s ‘last management elimination system’.

This was the first time she had seen someone like Wu Xifan, a top management member of the company, being fired.

The old saying "The birds are gone, the bows are hidden" can't help but come to mind.

Xu Liang picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, then took a sip.

He does not regret firing Wu Xifan.

As the company grows bigger, it will naturally eliminate some people who are not capable.

In the end, only Bonima and Zhang Zhidong were left in the Penguin Five.

Aren’t Ali’s Eighteen Arhats also gone nearly half way?
